Winter Vaulting begins January 4th! During the coldest months of the year, NEV vaulters head indoors to work on the barrel, perfect compulsories and develop freestyle routines.
You can find them on Sunday afternoons in the Littleton, MA Library where they vault in the recreation room.
The barrel isn't only for practice. By working hard on the barrel, vaulters are able to get the most out of their time on the horse. Most vaulting events also include barrel competitions. Here are some pictures of NEV vaulters Lily (seat) and Tamsin (stand) at last year's AVA Region IX Championships competing on the barrel.
